The economic sustainability and competitiveness of a product depends on the efficient, traceable, and collaborative involvement of diverse yet interactive stakeholders in the supply chain (suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, customers) . These are the revolutions currently affecting the Italian fashion industry, which is also being challenged to seize the benefits of digitalization .
, 'Industry 4.0 ' also involves companies in the fashion sector, which are forced to manage a growing number of variables relating to the product composition and structure of the materials being processed, processing conditions that are difficult to standardize, the fragmentation and delocalization of production processes , and the management of countless critical issues.
Small and large fashion companies are beginning to network to create systems that integrate enabling technologies: and it is precisely this new dimension, made up of small workshops, large clients, and countless suppliers, that is proving most successful in the digitalization process of the industry . This phenomenon is also documented and studied by research, such as that of the 'RISE Laboratory', which is committed to collecting testimonials from all the companies that make up a company's logistics and production chain , to move beyond the physical confines of the department and include processes that are not strictly manufacturing.
"innovative supply chain" dimension is being successfully tested in Puglia by the "Collaborare" project, launched by Ametlab and technologically supported by the BPM platform Jamio openwork . The goal: to reorganize processes to improve order management, structure the network of participating laboratories, regulate warehouse logistics, bring all stakeholders together on a single web platform, and better manage their participation.
